Room temperature was ok. Seemed humid though despite having air conditioner on. I think the sheets and bedspread could do with an update but otherwise ok. The breakfast did leave something to be desired. Fresh fruit or scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage would have been good too. I did appreciate the fresh orange juice. It was not watered down like most places. The bar was a nice surprise as we have stayed here many times and it wasn't there before. After a long day, it was nice to come in and sit down and have a beer for $1.50. JP was a wonderful bartender.

Wouldn’t recommend

Breakfast had day old donuts coffee and stale bagels. The beds were hard there’s wood missing off most furniture and the bedding was stained and had cigarette burns. The room itself was cleanish but it’s pretty dingy and the pool was completely cloudy.

Overall experience was good, but it was clear that the bare minimum amount of effort and expense was used to make the place functional. Staff was generally pleasant but constantly changing to different people, so no continuity.
